          Application No. 09/872,928                                                  

          tetraalkylpiperidinyl compound having a high molecular weight.              
          (Column 1, lines 9-37.)  The solid solution composition is said             
          to be an “excellent stabilizer for polymeric materials,” such as            
          epoxy resins.  (Abstract; column 13, lines 7-36.)  Malik further            
          teaches that other antioxidants including “benzofuran-2-ones,               
          indolin-2-ones and sterically hindered phenols, sulphur and                 
          phosphorous containing compounds and mixtures thereof,” may be              
          added to the solid solution stabilizer composition.  (Column 16,            
          lines 40-47.)  Preferred phosphorus containing co-stabilizers               
          are said to include certain phosphite and phosphonite compounds.            
          (Column 17, lines 6-12.)  Like Ertl, Malik teaches that the                 
          solid solution is suitable in powder coating compositions.                  
          (Column 17, lines 47-50.)                                                   
               In a similar fashion, Valet describes a coating composition            
          (e.g., a powder coating) comprising: (A) a binder based on an               
          organic polymer (e.g., epoxy resin or functional acrylate resin             
          and a crosslinking agent); and, as a stabilizer against damage              
          by light, heat, and oxygen, (B) a 2-(2’hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-                  
          pyrimidine derivative.  (Column 1, lines 7-12; column 1, line 39            
          to column 3, line 26; column 8, lines 46-63; column 12, lines               
          45-48; column 13, lines 6-12.)  Valet further teaches that other            
          stabilizers such as phosphates, phosphonites, and benzofuranones            



                                          7
